I get this:

I am on KTU84P, but it doesn't work. Anyway to fix this?
[Nexus 5 General] netsriht:
Maybe it is caused by TWRP cause i have the same error and I have also TWRP installed

Im running a custom rom(mahdi) but I have a untouch back up ( kot49h) can I flash the lollipop over this back up or I need to flash one by one till I get back on ktu84p ?
[Nexus 5 General] rohandayal:
When i give the command adb sideload update.zip, it says "Cannot read update.zip" What does this mean? Doing this for the first time.
[Nexus 5 General] Cobble123:
Side-loaded fine from KTU84P on my stock phone. Currently watching 4 coloured balls floating around my screen as I wait for it to finish rebooting.
[Nexus 5 General] Yaz75:
Good call, that seems to be a logical assumption. I was just guessing on the OmniRom thing merely from the name.
[Nexus 5 General] ajez:
I've installed it without any problem!

adb sideload update.zip FTW!

:D
[Nexus 5 General] ironia.:
this OTA '....signed-hammerhead-LRX21O-from-KTU84P...' have to be applied over ktu84p
[Nexus 5 General] ferrari248f1:
I returned to stock recovery and now it seems to work! I used adb sideload in this case...
[Nexus 5 General] goraps:
How did you return to stick recovery? I tried yesterday maybe my method was bad?

[MENTION=4838267]yokuyuki[/MENTION]

I've got the same md5

Update completed without any problem from stock rom/recovery. I did it on Ubuntu.

Thanks again, GabrielGPP !!!

I downloaded it from here (http://d-h.st/jmN) and next I flashed it from fast boot :good:
[Nexus 5 General] MrKaon:
All done:
[Nexus 5 General] avicohh:
By the way.

My phone was rooted and stock recovery.

Su binaries deleted after the update.
[Nexus 5 General] real_marsman:
Hmmm, seems I broke something while reverting to stock recovery. I get an image of a dead little android lying on its back.
[Nexus 5 General] g2uzer:
So I have to flash all the previous ones till I get to ktu84p correct ?
[Nexus 5 General] ironia.:
Yes
[Nexus 5 General] munchy_cool:
rename the file you downloaded to update.zip and also make sure it's in same folder as adb.
[Nexus 5 General] MountainDrew:
That is stock recovery. Press volume up while that little dude is on the screen.
[Nexus 5 General] ferrari248f1:
Just press power botton for some seconds...
[Nexus 5 General] ChungWingKeung:
* cannot read update.zip *

deleted

the file was placed in a wrong folder :o)
[Nexus 5 General] real_marsman:
Ok, I feel stupid now... I'm in recovery now. Let's try sideloading. :)
[Nexus 5 General] alirz:
I tried side loading the lollipop OTA on my nexus 5 but i got this:

system/app/googlehindiIME.apk has unexpected contents

E:Error in /tmp/update.zip

status 7

Could it because in the past i had removed the googlehindi keyboard and also i think the chinese keyboard using a root uninstaller app. Everything else is stock on my phone except root.
[Nexus 5 General] munchy_cool:
it ain't stock if you rooted it bro :)
[Nexus 5 General] Yaz75:
Seriously. It's been said a million times. You cannot be rooted.
[Nexus 5 General] skelettor:
No major issue from my side.

1) Reboot Nexus 5 in recovery mode

2) Volume Up to enter recovery menu

3)

Apply update from adb

4) On PC : Ensure your pc detect the phone by

adb devices

5) On PC :

adb sideload update.zip

6 ) Waiting......

8)

Reboot system now

9) Waiting again....

10) My Nexus 5 has been updated to Android Lollipop :good:

Now I Enjoy and I will play with this new Android release on Nexus 5.

Good luck for you if you decide to do the update manually.
[Nexus 5 General] k1chy:
I believe you can be rooted but will lose root. All the system applications are to be there and should not be tampered with.

I have sideloaded OTA for KTU84Q while being rooted. Lost root, but, did not affect sideloading/updating.

I am rooted now, will sideload the OTA if I do not get OTA. Will post results to confirm.
[Nexus 5 General] ArN0V:
Same for me just rooted ktu84p

I dont uderstand

[Nexus 5 General] MountainDrew:
That is correct. You can be rooted, you can have unlocked bootloader, but no system or recovery changes at all. It looks like my error is due to a corrupted file of some kind (really long filename). I didn't do any modifications myself, but something went bad I guess. I've just finished backup up everything, flashing the factory image now. It'll be nice to have a completely fresh start anyway...
[Nexus 5 General] rohandayal:
When i give the command adb reboot recovery, my phone does reboot but the screen says "No command" and then it doesn't connect back to the laptop. Any solution please?

EDIT: Got to the recovery menu by pressing the power + volume button,
[Nexus 5 General] kingfame_147:
My sideload update allways gets stuck sending the file :(

Sometimes 1%, sometimes 7%,.. The most I got so far was 43%. Any ideas?
[Nexus 5 General] SimplicityApks:
Well lol as it turns out I've never used the stock recovery either lol, now let's try that xD. Ok the stock recovery for some reason couldn't mount /cache, so I had to reflash the cache.img from the factory image... Now it's working though ;). Thanks for the help!
[Nexus 5 General] lexcyn:
That's stock recovery. Press + hold volume up to get sideload menu.
[Nexus 5 General] jefferai:
Same problem here. Stock, just rooted.
[Nexus 5 General] ironia.:
which version of twrp you have???

I think is possible something related to twrp
[Nexus 5 General] evilged:
Got the same error then I reflashed the KTU84P factory image without wiping user data now it errors with KTU84p with Test Keys rather than KVT49L!

Still no joy so giving up for a factory reflash of L.

[Nexus 5 General] Yaz75:
Drives me insane.

I can use adb to reboot it into recovery, but once there, it will not show up on adb devices so the update will not send. I know I've run into this in the past but my memory is shot. Anyone have a quick fix? I'm assuming it's a driver issue, I just need to find a simple way to D/L and install it. I'm on Win 8.1 64bit

Where is adb folder located? I place update.zip, then I run adb that i installed globally and it still says update.zip not found. When I go to c:\adb then run adb from there, there is no device connected. Help pls

"device not found" :(
[Nexus 5 General] alirz:
Could someone please give me the file system/app/googlehindiIME.apk

from a 4.4.4 nexus 5..Im trying to update to the lollipop OTA but i think im missing that apk as i had deleted it in the past.

Thanks
[Nexus 5 General] kingfame_147:
Try the drivers from here: developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html

When you install them (while in the recovery) use the "ADB Bootloader..." one and not the ADB interface. That solved this part of my problem, but still not able to update :D
[Nexus 5 General] Yaz75:
I'll give it a shot.

Thanks for the reply.
[Nexus 5 General] siren215:
I am also on KTU84Q, can u post your result?

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 General] Jacktheskipper:
So this time it doesn't work as usual (I'm on stock-rom, rooted, bootloader unlocked, twrp recovery)?

- put update.zip on phone

- goto twrp recovery

- flash update.zip

- flash supersu.zip

- reboot

Can someone confirm this doesn't work this time around? No way to flash from the phone this time?
[Nexus 5 General] k1chy:
Sure do. Still awaiting OTA link or OTA. Seems OTA for KTU84Q is not being rolled out.
[Nexus 5 General] siren215:
What if we sideload this OTA on KTU84Q?

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 General] :
I'm having this exact problem.
[Nexus 5 General] k1chy:
Most likely will abort updating due to signature mismatch is my guess.

Still, do not try to side load this OTA in KTU84Q under any circumstances.
[Nexus 5 General] Jacktheskipper:
So no way to flash this from the latest TWRP? I'm on KTU84P and just put the update.zip on my phone ...
[Nexus 5 General] busterblood:
hello,

i'm new here and a android noob ;)

I have the following problem:

Nexus 5 + CWM+Franco Kernel

I installed via CWM the original Kernel.

After that i have followed the instrucion for szenario B.

But i got the following Error:

Verifiying current system

“/system/bin/thermal-engine-hh” has unexpected contens.

E:Error in /tmp/update.zip

(Status 7)

Installation aborted

Can anyone help me?
[Nexus 5 General] abaaaabbbb63:
Did you install any mods of some sort?
[Nexus 5 General] busterblood:
No. Just root (supersu), cwm and Franco kernel

Gesendet von meinem Nexus 5 mit Tapatalk
[Nexus 5 General] chk27:
Sorry for the question but I'm somewhere in between the scenario 2 and 3:

TWRP

Root (superSU flashed via recovery)

everything else stock but with small edits to \system\build.prop and \system\etc\mixerpaths.xml

should I follow the B or C steps?

Thanks
[Nexus 5 General] misbehave:
First, thank you OP for starting this wonderful thread.

I just wanna make sure before I do anything that may harm my phone.

I have:

-Unlocked Bootloader

-Rooted (with SuperSU)

-Stock rom

-Stock Kernel

-ClockWorkMod Recovery.

-No other Mods

Do I use the method of Section B (Scene2)?

Will I lose Root or and Bootloader locked after I do this?

Thanks again.
[Nexus 5 General] zevral:
Franco and the OTA

For anyone that used the Franco Kernel on the Nexus 5:

Flash the Stock Kernel Zip. But now, if you try to flash the OTA you will get this Error

Thats because you used Franco Kernel. Franco Kernel renames that file to power.msm8974.so.bak! You need to rename it again.

To do that, download Root Browser or anyother Root Explorer from the PlayStore.

Open it and give it Root Access. Then go to system/lib/hw and rename the file (just remove the .bak at the end!)
[Nexus 5 General] busterblood:
[MENTION=5038152]zevral[/MENTION]

But i got an another error
[Nexus 5 General] vigos:
This happened to me so I went nucler, back to stock. Everything is fine now, I haven't tried re-installing the update though.
[Nexus 5 General] shantzg001:
Sigh.. so not much luck after trying so many things, so took the safe root.

Flashed the factory image of 4.4 again (with -w removed from flash-all.sh to keep my data preserved). Then applied the OTA through stock recovery. Now on to flashing twrp and rooting again.
[Nexus 5 General] zevral:
which one? i only had this one error, after that it worked fine. Just post the Error Message and we'll see
[Nexus 5 General] busterblood:
On the top of this page.
[Nexus 5 General] milan03:
Has anyone received the actual Over-The-Air Software Update notification? All I'm seeing in this OTA thread is side loading success stories, unfortunately :(
[Nexus 5 General] kraven001:
Sideloading this OTA is the same thing as downloading it via the phone it's just you use the computer as the "middle-device". And as far as receiving the OTA, you realize that most of the users around here are pure geeks that hate waiting for something they can get with a few command prompt commands.

All we needed was the URL which is as genuine as it gets!
[Nexus 5 General] milan03:
I'm not saying it's better or worse, I'm asking from a pure statistical point of view. I have not seen a single report of OTA Software update in this OTA thread. Have you?
[Nexus 5 General] KMSAlex:
I've had a awful three hours or so of trying to flash cwm/twrp on my nexus 5 under Ubuntu 13.04 no matter what I've tried including cf auto root I can not get a recovery back on my device.

Depending on what I'm trying I either have the terminal hung at "waiting for device", or an error along the lines of Fastboot(random stuff) not found.

Do you think it's my Linux set up?
[Nexus 5 General] markdel:
Just want to say thanks for this thread. Scenario 2 update completed without incident last night. Though not a stranger to hacking on PC OS's, I'm a total Android noob, and this was a piece of cake. :good:
[Nexus 5 General] kraven001:
I'm not alarmed at all that there are no OTA reports here. This thread was very well "hidden" in the second page and now it's sticky. I don't think too many came here to boast they got the OTA. There were some reports in the other threads and the URLs. That seems good enough.

When does it reach the devices? Well who knows why we don't see too many reporting, maybe N5 is not that "popular" among geeks that check news about new Androids every half an hour.

On top of that most were coming here with the quick fix (sideloading), probably many like me just downloaded it and went with flashing, didn't wait a few hours for the actual thing to come directly to the device.
[Nexus 5 General] amuench:
Just a heads up for anyone flashing from TWRP, wiping the cache takes an unusually long time and ify ou halt it during the wipe you'll corrupt your cache and need to reflash the cache.img from the stock image.

Also, the latest SuperSU 1.80 zip works in giving root on 4.4.1, but if you download it through ES downloader, it corrupts the file somehow. Took 3 tries before I realized that it was the problem!

Otherwise, 4.4.1 is a nice improvement, liking the camera updates a lot
[Nexus 5 General] P.Mobile:
is kernel source for 4.4.1 posted yet?
[Nexus 5 General] milan03:
Ya that's totally valid, we all come here to flash it. What's interesting is that there aren't any reports of people actually getting Over The Air Software Update notification anywhere on the forum, including this thread that's focusing on OTA image. I'm dying to see someone actually receiving it lol.

I get that Google is pushing to small IMEI batches initially, but there is no one that actually got it lol. Again, purely statistically speaking here.
[Nexus 5 General] HOslolam:
This doesn't work. You can try it, it just errors out when you flash the update.zip. You can reboot back into 4.4.4 after the failure.

Not sure if there will be a way to do it from the phone or not. Current speculation is that the custom recover is what's causing the problems.
[Nexus 5 General] k1chy:
LOL. You made my day.

Sorry for the OT :(
[Nexus 5 General] Wh1t3Rose:
Guys I will update the OP later today. I traveled 50+ miles today for an early morning job interview. I'll update everything when I get home and I have access to a PC.
[Nexus 5 General] ChungWingKeung:
what has happened?

problem solved thx
[Nexus 5 General] yokuyuki:
Was no one able to flash this with twrp?
[Nexus 5 General] netsriht:
I was not able. Then I reverted back to Stock Recovery. This works..... updating Apps right now
[Nexus 5 General] stare.in.the.air:
I had the same problem. I had to flash the stock recovery to get rid of that error. I was on TWRP.

But the I got a message, that my modem had "unexcepted contents". I flashed the stock radio.img and got rid of that too.

I manually unrooted my devices in the middle of that (using the SuperSU App Fully Un-Root feature), but I don't that that was necessary.
[Nexus 5 General] kr1pt:
Hi guys I need help.

I got "E: Failed to mount /cache" like 10 times. I still sideloaded update.zip and still got the same error. Do not have 5.0 (low storage error aswell). What do I do?
[Nexus 5 General] Jacktheskipper:
So you just flashed stock recovery and then flashed the update.zip from your phone? supersu.zip, too?
[Nexus 5 General] netsriht:
Up to now I only flashed update.zip with ADB in stock recovery...
[Nexus 5 General] Wh1t3Rose:
Updated your recovery? You should be on latest TWRP (Not CWR) Try fastbooting the Lollipop cache.IMG from the stock images. Thats should fix that error. No it won't wipe any daa.
[Nexus 5 General] kr1pt:
I just cleared cache again but waited till it cleared completely. Now I don't have error. "Patching system files..." now... :D
[Nexus 5 General] Wh1t3Rose:
:good: I was going to suggest that but it usually doesn't work. Glad it worked for you though :)
[Nexus 5 General] Yaz75:
GODDAMN Windows I hate you so much.

I've done a sideload many times before but I just can NOT get this POS to recognize the phone. I can plug it in and use adb to reboot it into recovery mode with no problem. The second it's in recovery and ready to receive the update it doesn't recognize the device at all. I'm going to throw this f*ing thing through a wall.

Any ideas? I've already deleted the device from device manager and let it re-install. I've tried re-loading the Google USB drivers. Again, I'm on Win 8.1 64bit
[Nexus 5 General] Wh1t3Rose:
What does adb devices command give you while in recovery?

Edit: using latest TWRP? Actually selected "sideload" option in TWRP?
[Nexus 5 General] Yaz75:
I get "List of devices" then nothing but a blank line underneath followed by the next line having a fresh command prompt.
[Nexus 5 General] Wh1t3Rose:
OK then please post your issue to the adb/fastboot thread in my Sig. Hopefully those guys will be able to help you. :)
[Nexus 5 General] goraps:
Did the same just finished updating the apps and Android is Starting now. It seems as though the OTA is recognizing that it is not a stock recovery and is failing because I have seen the same reports of the same error for TWRP and CWM.
[Nexus 5 General] Yaz75:
Pardon my ingorance, but neither of the clickable links in your sig takes me to an ADB/Fastboot thread.
[Nexus 5 General] naman1901:
Been searching all over the net for OTA for KTU84Q but to no avail. Looks like no one in India or the NZ and Aus carriers has received the update.

So just wondering whether sideloading the KTU84P update would be fine? I'm running a non-rooted stock recovery KTU84Q Nexus 5.
[Nexus 5 General] MrKaon:
Forget about flashing OTA with custom recovery, flash stock recovery then side load ota.
[Nexus 5 General] qbking77:
Here's a video showing how to sideload the lollipop update zip:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uvch38KDmTk
[Nexus 5 General] merfsiu:
I sideloaded the OTA with no problems

---------- Post added at 11:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:47 AM ----------

while in recovery, Go to device manager, click update driver and then select choose driver from a list. > select android device > select adb composite

it should now show up in adb devices while in recovery.
[Nexus 5 General] Dnorwood:
So I sideloaded through adb fine. But like I always do, I wiped the cache before leaving the recovery menu. It froze while wiping the cache so I soft reset, and have been at the boot animation for at least 15 minutes. Thinking I am in a boot loop. Should I try to reboot into recovery with adb and re-wipe cache and possibly a factory reset?
[Nexus 5 General] teuntje3:
You will see an Android with a red exclamation point. Now press VolUp+Power together.

When I'm in 'Recovery Mode' I am unable to get past the red exclamation point. When I press Vol Up + Power notting happens.

How do I get to 'Apply update from ADB'?

Thanks in advance!
[Nexus 5 General] MrKaon:
No you need to flash modified kernel. Go to Chainfire thread for more info.
[Nexus 5 General] kr1pt:
Works perfectly :)
[Nexus 5 General] MrKaon:
Just press volume up while in recovery.
[Nexus 5 General] windsymphony:
I went through lots of pages on this thread to see if any posts already in here could help me , but sadly i am short on time , so decided to just make a post . to request a "pointer"

as far as i know " Section A" is what suits my condition .

Iam on , "Locked" "UN-Rooted" , "KTU84P" "Stock"

I downloaded , the "update.zip" and put it in the unzipped "platform tools 19.0.1" folder

USB Debuggin on , and launched adb.exe

it just quick runs and ends .

I know iam doing something "basic step" wrong here.

can some one say me if i can do something about this , thank you.
[Nexus 5 General] Yaz75:
You need to open a command prompt window and do this via keyboard old school style.
[Nexus 5 General] Dnorwood:
You need to run from the command prompt, then change the directory to the platform tools directory, then follow the steps listed in the OP

Stock Recovery

Like many others, I am trying to apply the OTA update through TWRP and having it fail because of the custom recovery. Can any body please advise how to get back to stock recovery? I downloaded the factory images from Google and tried to fastboot the stock bootloader (which log tells me is successful), but everytime I try to get into recovery it is still TWRP. What am I missing?

Many thanks!
[Nexus 5 General] alirz:
Man somebody cleaned the other thread...

Anyways im trying to side load the lollipop OTA on my nexus 5 4.4.4.

Im getting the following error:

system/app/googlehindiIME.apk has unexpected contents

E:Error in /tmp/update.zip

status 7

in the past, i remember uninstalling the that keyboard using the root uninstaller app. Is that what this error seems to suggest. I cannot find that apk in the mentioned directory.

Could someone perhaps provide me with the apk from a 4.4.4 nexus 5?

Thanks
[Nexus 5 General] Travillion:
Driver issues

My guess is you don't have all the proper drivers. This happened to me back when I first tried to unlock/root my Galaxy Nexus. When your phone is powered on, adb is interfacing with it (shows up in devices), but then once it goes into the bootloader you are unable to keep that communication open. I had to go through all sorts of trickery in Device Manager to get the proper drivers loaded, there are multiple tutorials up describing it.
[Nexus 5 General] Yaz75:
You are correct. Unfortunately even when I try to point the device manager to the google drivers folder, it finds nothing.

I know that there are many threads about this. Slogging through them for the last 3 hours has yielded nothing.
[Nexus 5 General] Chaosblast:
So I will dive in here with my particular issue, as I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.

SDK installed fresh today, and Google Drivers aswell. Windows 8.1. Scenario #1 (full stock).

Actual situation: drivers installed. When phone is On, "Android Device > Android Composite ADB Interface" shows up in Device manager. When I go bootloader, "Android Bootloader Interface" shows up too.

However, when I'm ready to the adb sideload command, "Nexus 5" shows in "Other devices" in the devices manager with the yellow mark, and if I try to update it pointing to the Google drivers in the SDK folder, it says it can't be updated.

Trying the asb sideload <filename> reports "device not found".

I have no idea why, as it seems the driver is installed fine (except that weird thing that appears in other devices).

Some help, please?

Thank you very much.
[Nexus 5 General] toxictaru:
Having the exact same issues. When the phone is on, adb devices is fine. When it's in recovery, nothing. Device Manager sees that it's there, but no drivers I've found work. So I downloaded the SDK and tried to install the drivers from there, the SDK doesn't have it either.
